she won her match today in three sets at the next local tournament. she plays her semi final tomorrow morning against the french no. 34. if she wins, she'll earn some points and climb in the french rankings again. go nante!

she lost 46 36 in the semi final, but she said she played really good and feels good and it was a good experience for her and she knows how to play against her now....better luck next time! keep winning nante!

talked to nantenaina again. still no news concerning her visa, she'll probably get it in july. her ex-president from her former club told her she can start to play itf tournaments in august again. so she hopes she can come to germany to play some tournaments and visit me here. she'll probably play for 2 month, then, she doens't know how it'll go on. for now, she has to keep playing boring matches in the french league winning them easily 60 60. last time she told me, even i played better against her than some of her opponents. hold on to the thought that you can start playing on the itf tour again soon, nante!

she got better and played some stronger french tournaments, winning one and reaching the final of two more tournaments. she said she feels good and confident and is looking forward to playing on the tour again. hope she can come to germany and play here....go nante, keep winning!

nantenaina finally got a new visa, but only for 4 month. the permanent one for a few years takes a little longer, but she is confident that she'll get it. and soon she'll probably start playing on the itf tour again.

she's up to no. 22 in the french national rankings. i think the points are combined from all the big french national tournaments (no itf points). she played 10 tournaments and has 51 points now. keep it up nantenaina!

against (Q)Lazareva. had hoped for a better draw, a lower ranked player. lazareva is no. 481, currently near her CHR. she's the highest ranked qualifier in the draw could be tough for nante. do your best and get the win!
